GENERAL
The URC-1 is a highly versatile learning remote,
capable of storing up to 32 commands on each of 4
layers. Layers are selected by a 4-position BANK
switch. Unlike many learning remotes, the URC-1
will send commands in sequences (macros), up to a
maximum of 10 steps under one or more individual
buttons. It also includes extended memory to store
the longer codes of some remote controls.
PRECAUTIONS
The URC-1 is a precision electronic instrument that uses microprocessor circuitry and should be treated with
care. Do not allow the URC-1 to get wet or excessively hot. Do not leave it in direct sunlight or store it in
hot locations, such as in a car.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
• The URC-1 uses four triple-A (AAA) size batteries.
• Use alkaline batteries for maximum life.
• When replacing the batteries, replace all four at the same time. Mixing old batteries with new ones will
shorten battery life. Unremoved old batteries may damage the URC-1.
CAUTION: There is backup power for approximately two to three minutes built into the URC-1. This
allows the remote control to retain its learned commands while you are changing batteries. If you exceed
this length of time however, the URC-1 will lose its memory and have to be completely re-programmed.
TEACHING THE URC-1 COMMANDS FROM OTHER REMOTE
CONTROLS
To "teach" the URC-1 commands from
other remotes, proceed as follows:
1. Place both units on a flat surface
leaving your hands free to operate
the push buttons.
2. Place the "teaching" remote approxi-
mately 1 to 2 inches away and to the
rear of the URC-1 - see Fig. 2.
3. Press and release the recessed
LEARN button to enter the Learn mode. The LEARN
LED will light. Refer to Fig. 3.
4. Slide the BANK switch to the desired position (TV,
Audio, Video or Aux).
5. Press and hold the desired button on the URC-1 to
store a command.
